depends how restrictive your engine is. But Im sure you can safely spin that blower as hard as it will go without too much worry.

i would say you can get 13 psi out of it, i would personally get some meth if you go over that boost level.

assuming:

botom end is forged
coolant is 180-200
timing retarded accordingly
afr is 10.5-11.0:1
intake temp is proper (intercooled)
aluminum heads

i would assume about 15-20 max before using race fuel to prevent detonation/knock or alchy/meth injection to allow cooler charge. this is also before humidity/barometric pressure/altitude come into play. also more along turbo specs but should be relatively equivilant.

*not 100% certain, just educated guess. im sure someone may disprove me...

Im using 9.5:1, 20psi/YSi and pump fuel. Runs fine if you dont be greedy with timing ( which I always was before lol )
